[@krishnasharda1652]

His theory is absolutely on point. The things that I had noticed similarly as him were: Jorah persuading dany way too much to go with him to asshai. Jorah trying his best to get viserys killed by making no effort to defuse any situation and creating more issues. And Varys saying that aegon had been shaped for ruling since birth as if dany was just a pawn.

[@rotellam]

I'm not sure Viserys finds Dany so unattractive: "Viserys lusted for his father's throne, but *he lusted for Daenerys too*, and was loath to give her up. The night before the princess wed *he tried to steal into her bed, insisting that if he could not have her hand, he would claim her maidenhead.* Had I not taken the precaution of posting guards upon her door, Viserys might have undone years of planning."

[@marcusarkane]

+Mike Rotella He believes she is his by right of Being her Brother. As Targyrens married their siblings. He mentions often that he doesn't find her attractive, it's possible he was just saying this though

[@MissMdubs]

I really did get the impression Illyrio made that up. I think Illyrio benefits by portraying Viserys as a replicant of the Mad King - someone who needed to be cut down before getting a chance at destruction. As Preston more or less points out, when talking to a Westerosi (like Tyrion) who asks Illyrio about Viserys, Illyrio can point out he was trying to "save" the free cities from the destruction of the Dothraki (Illyrio benefits by having the tributes paid to the Dothraki when they call diverted to Illyrio) by wedding Dany to Drogo and leading them to believe there is something they benefit from in going to Asshai. Meanwhile Viserys was intent on unleashing 10,000 Dothraki screamers on the Seven Kingdoms in times of relative peace (this was prior to the War of the Five Kings). The reality is of course that he's the one who gave Viserys the idea and Viserys was ironically, destructive enough to accidentally prompt Khal Drogo to do it. So in the scene with Tyrion, Illyrio tells half of the truth about his Aegon scheming (because Tyrion knows, or is soon to know, about Aegon) and portrays Daenerys and her relationship with her brother in a negative light (she's probably a bit crazy because she used to be molested by her insane brother). The other thing is that the scene Illyrio is talking about in your quote is the night before the very first Daenerys POV chapter in AGOT. Although she acknowledges that she thought she would wed Viserys as her ancestors have always done, there's no indication that she has ever found him sexually frightening. Indeed she points out that Viserys frightens her when she "wakes the dragon" but Khal Drogo frightens her in a completely different way - because he conceives her to be a savage and she is expected to sleep with him to consummate the marriage.

[@basedchimera5859]

You shouldn't trust the cheese monger

[@CrystalSmith-uk6hd]

You pieced Rhllors influences that led the hatching of the eggs perfectly! The only difference I feel is that all three dragons were born due to individual Kings sacrifices. Khal Drogo, Viserys, and Rhaego being those sacrifices and Mirri Maz Duur knowingly sacrificed herself to pay for Danys life in the pyre. I'm trying to figure out the influence in Jons story! I'm thinking both Gods meaning R'hllor and The great Other are racing to get him in their corners.

[@Lachausis]

His impersonations with the voice! HAHAHA! Epic!

[@MrAnubis420]

+Lachausis It is known.

[@viciouspen]

You might give Drogo still even too much credit. With his character, how he is, him marrying dany could be no more than to him, picking up an exotic brood mare for status, interest. The most I might attribute to drogo is him thinking dany would birth the stallion. With the way Drogo died, a death that is literally from nothing but his own stupidity and arrogance....this guy's wading pool does not run that deep.

[@PrestonJacobstheSweetrobin]

There are lots of exotic slaves who look just like Dany, though. Jorah buys one in Volantis in fact. Drogo had to be interested in something more.

[@viciouspen]

Yeah, and Martin makes sure to make mention of that (which I often wonder about), and I even buy the idea that Drogo may have had some level of that idea in his head, but with the rest of his character I don't buy that he did much thinking about it. Look at how he died, the world was so much "his world" that drogo didn't think an infection could kill him. With that type of mindset...I see it more like drogo picking up one more thing to add to his collection. And so far exotic broodmare....it would be that she's an actual targaryen that would make her that, not just the hair and eyes, drogo was more purchasing the ability to say that even he owned targaryen blood.

[@AudioImpressionist]

Vicious Pen Just because he is unfamiliar with medicine/magic or overconfident in his power, doesn't mean he lacks ambition or smarts. By the time he comes into the story, he is an unmatched warrior who led the largest Khalasar. A guy like that, who has a little bird whisper in his ear that he could fulfill a prophecy and beget the most powerful Khal ever, would not require much prodding. Especially if the prophecy existed in his khalasar since he was born into it.

[@Altorin]

Preston Jacobs well, those women make themselves up to match the slavebreaker of meereen, but for sure, if it were just companionship and physical attraction it makes no sense, even before volantis was jam packed with daenarys lookalikes he could have found any number of Dothraki women who would clamor to both please him and provide many suitable heirs. His attention to dany is no doubt shaped by schemers but its not a matter of attraction. He was setting out to do something special by marrying her, and it only feels fair to take him at his words as he speaks at length about the stallion that mounts the world

[@bibbiana4Lyfe]

+AudioImpressionist Agree. His manner of death is more a reflection of the time he lived in an not a reflection of his intelligence.

[@sunmoon42]

Why did Illyrio believe that Dany (or anyone for that matter) could hatch a dragon's egg? After all for 150 years Targaryen kings had tried and failed in this not to mention they payed with their lives more often than not. And I just remembered: The dragon eggs that Illiryo gives to Dany are turned into stone. They are not living dragon eggs, they are fossilized. Which makes them quite unlikely to be hatched. He should have given Dany new living dragon eggs if he was scheming to hatch them for Aegon. It was a good point you brought up about Drogo's marriage pact with Viserys and Illiryo. I agree it cannot be Dany's looks because he had not seen her before. I think Drogo accepted the marriage to Dany because he believed that she is strong since she's the blood of dragon. But it was the crones of Dosh Khaleen who announced their child to be the stallion who mounts the world. Before that Drogo didn't seem to have any ideas of prophecies.

[@PrestonJacobstheSweetrobin]

I don't think Illyrio necessarily thought he could hatch a dragon, but people in the Red Religion did. By doing things for them, he wins friends.

[@sunmoon42]

Preston Jacobs Red religion knows about Azor Ahai but not much about dragons. It's a very strange move to give Dany dragons in the hopes that she will hatch them and that will appease red priests. I mean what if Dany hatches dragons and burns red temples? It is too much of a gamble for a schemer like Illiryo and too much of it is based on unprecedented assumptions

[@ryanforbes6073]

Sun&Moon Illiryo proves hes willing to take huge gambles all the time! Half his plans fall apart and he reworks them as he goes. jon connington even says as much

[@hamzaji4481]

don't forget that illiryo is working with varys and both have benn scaming and planning long before the birth of dany and the start of the rebellion they where cllecting informations and preparing for something because it wasn't wealth or the weather that drove varys to westros actualy he claimed that he never been interested in money all he wanted is peace why does someone from eastros has that much love to westros ?? that makes me doubt all what he really wants

Dude I used to stray away from your videos because it was so much I didn’t know but once I read the books. You have the best theories and plot videos, better than in deep Greek, lml. I dunno Quinn’s pretty good(great videos)

[@BenSamry]

Viserys was the first plan of Doran Martell by his betrothal to Arianne. Illyrio is competing with the Martells thus his plan to get rid of Viserys to put Aegon on the throne. It's all about the Martells Vs Illyrio, at least that's how it looks to me.

[@Altorin]

the dornish plan as it played out in the books is clearly only a tiny fraction of the full dornish master plan. if the plot he shared with arianne was his whole plan hes an idiot. so if we assume hes not an idiot, a few other things are really interesting. watch preston's video series on the dornish master plan for actual details

[@judyjude]

I recently started rereading the books, and noticed something I did not remember from the first time. Danys mother also died in childbirth. I thought she was killed by the mountain or someone. But since her mother also died in childbirth, that makes three main characters (at least) with the same background: Jon, Daenerys and Tyrion. I think there must be some significance to it, even though deaths like these were common then, as I also think they might be the three heads of the dragon. Maybe Tyrian has more Targeryan in him than we know? I think I remember something bout Aerys flirting unappropiatly with Tywins wife some time in the past, but cant remember if this was around the time when Tyrion was concieved. Maybe birhting a real "head of the dragon" kills the mother, or requires a sacrifcie of life. The sacrifice gives the child magic in a way, almost like harry potter... What do you think of it? :)

[@FUNGIJACK747]

[@andmarkell]

If all they needed was blood of kings for the sacrifice, they had no need to involve Drogo. They had a readily available, disposable source in Viserys. Following your recipe, if Illyrio is so clever then he has everything he needs without reaching out to Drogo. Targaryen incubation, check, king's blood sacrifice, check, fire and sorcery, check (volantis tiger faction allies).

[@MissMdubs]

Illyrio didn't expect the dragons to hatch he just wanted drogo to think he needs to go to asshai and clear the dothraki sea for the tiger faction. He actually tell Tyrion that he fully expected Dany to die and was surprised as anyone when she emerged from the desert with three dragons and conquered three cities. This changed his plans and annoyed the Golden Company enough that they decided to forego Illyrio and go straight to Westeros without trying to marry Aegon to Dany at all. Miri Maz Dur turns up I suspect because she is associated with Marwyn. Later when Samwell goes to the Citadel Marwyn hears about Daenerys and her dragons from Samwell (who has all the latest news because he reads Maester Aemon his letters) and he hightails it out of there to head to Daenerys and become her Maester. He's the one who seems to know a lot about the true history of the dragons and I suspect it was Miri's manipulations that led to Daenerys having the confidence to hatch her dragon eggs rather than the "death must pay for life" rubbish. This is something to convince Daenerys that it is "possible" to hatch the dragon eggs, shifting her mental energy from wishing to determination.

That incubation period where they need to be close to a Valyrian could be a situation where the Valyrian must sleep near their egg and dream.

You're seriously looking far to into this. Drogo married Dany because she's a trophy wife. Described as the most beautiful woman in the world and is of Valyrian descent. Jorah's interest in Asshai is interesting, but probably nothing too spectacular.

[@AtticusFresh]

Wow. This is your best video yet. I think you may have figured out all the elements for hatching dragons. All that sun and moon stuff is really interesting. A few questions though. Why do you think it was Illyrio who tried to poison Dany and not Robert? And couldn't they have used Viserys' king's blood instead of Drogo's? They'd need him to lead the Khalasar wouldn't they? Anyway, amazing video as usual. Can't wait to hear what you have in mind for the Grand Northern Conspiracy.

[@PrestonJacobstheSweetrobin]

I think it was Robert asking Varys asking Illyrio asking the wine seller to poison Dany. :) And I think there may be a difference between inherited king's blood (Targaryen) and self-made man king's blood (Mance, Drogo).

[@AtticusFresh]

Preston Jacobs Ah, makes sense about Illyrio. And that's an interesting thought about the quality of king's blood. Makes me wonder if some is more powerful than others. For instance would Stannis' blood be more or less powerful than Tommen's since Tommen is a bastard? Or does the fact that Tommen is actually in power make a difference? And what about Houses who used to be kings? Interesting stuff. Whether you're right or not doesn't really matter to me tbh. I think the fun in theories is that they make us think and look at certain aspects of the story in new ways and your theories most certainly do that.

[@dikuno4327]

AtticusFresh I think that Tommen's blood is in no use for hatching dragon eggs since he is technically "all" Lannister. I think Preston's theory if very adequate. I think it actually connects with the Varys and Illyrio conversation witch Arya hears in the red keep. They talk about how Eddard had found a Robert's basterd and how the Lannister/Stark conflict is about to begin and how they are not prepared for it. This conflict may end up in a unification of the seven kingdoms over one king (persumably the winner in the war of 5 kings). This will make it more difficult for them to achieve their plan, because they need westeros to be destabilized so that they can "offer" the people of the seven kingdoms a strong alternative to Robert's (at that time ) weak rule. I may be wrong ofcource, but I also think this theory is one of the best yet. Great job man, congrats

[@sorsocksfake]

Preston Jacobs Isn't the poison plot far more straightforward? Illyrio and Varys have a meeting to check their progress, which Arya overhears part of. Varys feels Westeros is about to burst, and Illyrio's gonna have to hurry. Presumably in sending the Dothraki west (at least, the Golden Company later claims that was the plan). Next thing, Varys just happens to bring Robert the news of Dany's pregnancy. The result is predictable: Robert has Varys arrange an assassination. Presumably Varys is the one who gives the poison (probably not lethal to adults) to the wine salesman who takes the contract, while also informing Jorah of the plot. Drogo of course can't ignore an assassination attempt on his wife/child, so he predictably decides to go west at that point. Which was exactly what Varys was saying Illyrio should get done. This is Varys' typical game it seems: pushing forward information his target will not ignore, with a predictable response that he favors. Power is whatever people believe. Maybe Varys isn't aware of the dragons plot. Or maybe there wasn't one (after all, GRRM supposedly hadn't planned on them, so the overall plot likely doesn't hinge much on them). Illyrio had no realistic hope of the eggs hatching, considering what had been tried before. He might have done it as a long-shot, but not as an integral part of his plan. And why would he? Dany didn't need dragons to show she's a targ, she's well enough known. The eggs themselves are a targ symbol already, even if they don't hatch.

Something else to think about: it could be possible to pop Dany on a ship to Assashi with Viserys and he could be killed there for his King’s blood and the eggs could have incubated with Dany during the journey, which probably would have been a year when you include the stops necessary for supplies to gain entry into Assashi. Except that Targaryens put eggs in the cradle, and babies are usually what you find in a cradle. It seems that incubation requires a growing baby, and Drogo wanted Dany to make a baby, a strong baby. I theorize that Dany’s baby, Drogo, and Viserys all would have been sacrificed in Assashi and Dany would have been sent to Ageon. Remember Ageon was raised with Dany in mind as his future wife, she would legitimize his claim to the throne; especially if Ageon is actually Illrio’s son with Serra Blackfyre.

[@kirstenpaff8946]

If Ilyrio's end game was to use king's blood and Ashaii magic to hatch the dragon eggs, why did he bother with Khal Drogo? Couldn't he have just given Daenerys the eggs to hold on to for a while and then told Viserys that he had a cunning plan to bring back dragons and that all Viserys had to do was go with Daenerys to Ashaii? Viserys's veins are bursting with king's blood and he isn't bright enough to think that this might be a trap. This seems a lot more fool proof than hoping that Drogo would happen to go over to Ashaii at some point. After all, Ashaii is pretty much only reachable by ship or by passing through super sketchy lands covered in ghost grass. Neither of these options would appeal to Khal Drogo, who, like all Dothraki, has a strong dislike of all places that are hostile to horses.

Yes but as pointed out in the video, the point wasn't to hatch the dragons it was to get the Dothraki east and away from the Free Cities so Illyrio could claim responsibility and get an "in" with the Tiger Faction. Sending Dany and Viserys away to almost inevitable death with a bunch of Dothraki savages also pretty much guarantees nobody threaten's Aegon's claim as he assembles his armies.

Varys was Master of Whispers the King Aerys II. He would probably have heard about the prophecy of The Prince/Princess who was promised who would wake up dragons. He/she was supposed to be born from Aerys line. Neither Rhaegar nor Viserys was this person, so perhaps Varys and Illyrio thought that Daenerys could be the one the profecy spoke of. The last child of Aerys. "The Moon who would pop out dragons", so to speak.They hoped she would hatch a dragon for Aegon. And they needed her in Asshai to do this. The prests in Asshai loves blood magic and sacrificing kings blood. Therefore they also needed a dead Viserys or a dead Khal.

Nice job as always!

Bruhhhh your Irri voice has me dying

[@sherazkhan4371]

Good vid, the only thing I object to is Irri and Jhiqui being a part of Illyrio's plan, I think it was just Doreah, considering she's the one that commands Viserys. And in the show Doreah betrays Daenerys for Xaro Xhoan Daxos, probably an attempt by D&D to make her more obviously Illyrio's puppet to begin with (by making her seem cunning). Tbh though that's a very minor point, and Illyrio & Varys are the master long-term plotters in the realm (as well as Doran), so this vid probably even misses more on this plan, considering their plan for Aegon which may end up being irrelevant (if he's not cast in the show).

[@PrestonJacobstheSweetrobin]

I agree that Irri and Jhiqui are probably innocent, but I must include them in a list of suspects. The only thing they have ever done to give me pause is encouraging Dany not to stay in Vaes Tolorro. They seem straight up trustworthy just like her bloodriders (perhaps the only trustworthy people that surround Dany).

[@gaboz4306]

There´s one big problem with theory that Ilyrio planed to hatch a Dragon egg... In ADWD he specificlly said that he didn´t expect Dany to survive with the Dothraki...

[@GuruJudge21]

I'd just like to bring up that several characters who aren't knowledgeable about magic want Dany to go to Asshai, until she hatches her dragons then they want her to go West.

[@nettiebednarikova3079]

Maybe I missed it in the video, but why did Jorah wanted to take Daenerys to Asshai even after the death of Khal Drogo? It seemed Drogos blood was important for the plan.

Love your videos! The woman voice make me laugh so much

6:02 *SPIT TAKE* LMFAO!!!

[@PewPewPlasmagun]

Thousand Worlds Universe tales would have you believe that one of the moons might have been a starship of the Bioengineering guys and dragons some sort of bioweapons. At one time the starship might have gotten destroyed and somehow the seeds released upon earth.

[@tonglingkalytius6844]

What if Illyrion wants Drogo's army to invade Westero? instead of hatching dragons?
